There has been long debate on who made the first American flag along with who continues to make the best. I Don’t know the answer to either of those questions but Betsy Ross comes to mind and I heard she was one heck of a seamstress. It’s said that she worked in the upholstery business, repairing torn uniforms for the Revolutionary War solders, plus made tents and blankets for the Continental Army of 1779. As compelling as the history is to me, I became fixated on the rules. Rules ranging from how the flag should be handled to displayed to discarded.
